Thank you for reacting to this. Old guy here, who was always considered the archetypal strong male. Rens music uncovers deeply hidden emotions in me. Cry uncontrollably whenever I listen to this. Thank you
Me too brother... I cry all the time listening to Ren and I'm not sorry or apologetic about it. Ren is what music has been music for a LONG time... REAL! We feel that in every word he speaks as we line it up to his autobiography of his life played on albums... Ren is TRUELY; One of a kind...
@@brianito7779 I agree, it has nothing to do with sexuality. What is your problem? I'm complimenting Ren. How is that reading too much into anything? I had a best friend who committed suicide but I didn't feel profound love for him. He was just my mate.
This is just the simplest, purest song expressing love and loss in the most honest way possible. This was 12 years ago. He sang it at Joe's funeral and there is a restaurant on Anglesey called Freckled Angels (in honour of both Joe and the song). There is a live version - Ren looks so young, but so determined to pay proper respect to Joe. He starts to rush towards the end, trying to make sure he finishes it before crying. Quite a tough watch to be honest. What a beautiful song and what a beautiful friendship they had.
You are such an honest person. No-one should go through the pain at any point. Ren has at least got us talking. I live alone and the thought that people care, even though they don't personally know me, is wonderful. Thank you (and the rest of the reaction community), thsnk you Renegades, and thank you Ren ❤
Sometimes angels go to Heaven and sometimes they fall to Earth when they still have work to do.. that is Ren.. the angel we never knew how much we needed in these turbulent times.. I’m so sorry for your loss.. ♥️😇♥️
Great reaction. You probably don't want to know but there is an even MORE emotional version that REN did around 8 months after Joe left 🙏 live on stage 😢😢🔥✌️🙏
Sorry to hear of your loss. This is a truly heartbreaking song to listen to. Whatever else Ren does or will do, the way that he touches on so many seemingly hard but real situations is the most important thing he will ever do. Through sharing his pain so viscerally, he seemingly provides a safe space for others to be more open with their pain and feelings and allow some unburdening. He is literally saving lives - this is his true legacy. I feel sure that there is a freckled angel up above, smiling down and laughing and telling Ren "I told you so" right now. I bet your nephew is also beaming with pride at you.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. Ren brings broken people together and makes it okay to express any emotion and heal together. Thanks always for a wonderful and heartfelt reaction.
When I saw Ren jumping for joy whilst being announced that he earned the No.#1 album in the UK…he looked towards the skies and cried. I know he was thinking of Joe. Yeah, he makes me cry, happy or sad.
hey there red massive hugs for you sorry you have said goodbye to so many over the past few years.and i hope all of our collective community love and support can keep on propping you up in the darker times as much as your happiness and joy props us all up too.
@@redheadedneighbor The funny thing is, Ren is how I found people to support. I used to think that my comments wouldn't matter and no one would be interested anyway. I have recently been proven wrong in both cases. I really didn't know it would be that important to ME either. But, that has become a large part of who I am. Another example of the Ren effect. I have been in the darkness and have cone into the light. I try to spread that light as much as I can. Probably rambling. You have an AWESOME night.
@@dawnpatterson8708 not rambling at all. Every word is valuable. And yes, because of his platform he has opened up the path for us to be here for each other. We need that now more than ever. Even the dimmest light is a beacon in darkness.
Beautiful reaction 💕 Sometimes a sad song is just what is required. Especially when it's written as wonderfully as this one. I've never had to go through losing someone like that and I hope I never will.
This is a song that connects freckled Grief stricken Hearts In Unity we can all come to tearful unity In unison we are united we are together we are one
I am 61 now And my list of friends and families That had become freckled angels grows.Ren helps me hold them in my arms again.Big hugs to you also red.
YOU LOOK fabulous today Ms. Red. I think this is where the "For Joe" video came from..... not sure of the order, but I really liked that one when I saw it as well.
am so glad you have followed Rens journey the freckled angel album is amazing, always love your reactions Ren has a beautiful soul and so do you take care friend ❤❤❤❤
he drags me in to every song. This you would think a light-hearted happy track if you didnt know, yet knowing his back story my 50yo eyes glaze over and well up. His music crosses so many genres and im there for all off it. he puts everything in to every track, just stunning.
Very sad that you had to go through this Red. Thanks for your kind words thinking of others. I think it’s good to face things by listening to Rens Freckled angles. It’s a lovely song. Take care and thanks for being you Red ❤️
Lost my mother, step mother and best friend all within 1 year in '17/'18. This song always hit me hard. But it makes me feel better somehow. Thank you for the lovely reaction. And as always, hugs to you. 🧡
Ren has made mention that Joe was the funniest guy he knew and I feel that his spirit was captured beautifully in the upbeat flow of the song. Another good one Red! Thank you!
I am not scared to say I cried for Ren, for Joe, and for my own peace of mind: I too have lost a very close friend that was a much better man than I, I love and miss you Corey Taylor (His mom was a singer and she named him after the lead singer of slipknot).... Thanks for the video. 4:14 For the first time today I watched a live performance of this song 8 months after Joe passed. Your words about "Putting feeling into his song and "working through them". That could not be more true in the video I watched... He is crying telling the story then, ... Starts singing about his best friend Joe and doesn't miss a beat...
This song and suicide in particular mean a lot to me because I had a brother that passed away from an overdose a couple years ago and he was very freckled. I miss him every day. I think it's beautiful Joe is still remembered this way. My brother was an organ donor who saved 3 people's lives so my brother will always live on too. Thank you so much for this! We never forget the ones we lose
*sigh* I unfortunately have this connection as well with yourself and Ren. I lost my best friend and my girlfriend to S, during my young adulthood. I’m actually the one who discovered my best friend, and had to phone the police. As far as my girlfriend, she lived in Norway (we met while I was in the Navy) and I had just gone to visit her from the states. Just to get the call two weeks later from her mom telling me what had happened after I returned home😢. It’s an incredibly painful experience to handle. I’ve done my best to continue on, but life for me hasn’t been easy. Sometimes it feels like I’m just going through the motions. I do what I can to remain in a positive mindset daily, but it’s not always easy. Thank you for your reaction to this song. ❤
That’s why I think it’s important to address this subject of…loss. So many of us carry it. There are so many emotions that come up. I am so sorry that you are in this club. I know how scary it can be sometimes. Much love, my friend. I make sure to focus on the simple and beautiful things now. Appreciate all that I can. Music plays a big role!
Wonderful reaction . Ren has given us just a bit more courage to face those uncomfortable painful topics in our life and given me faith like Ren said to Joe '' It will be ok ''
search "top current album sales" rens in with a shout in the US top 10. if your in the US & can buy the album please do. thx from the UK. #11 right now.
I haven't watched the video yet, but wanted to comment for the algorithm at least. I've had 2 family members die in the past month, one of which being today. I promise I'll watch the video, I just can't right now.
I don’t know if you have already, I looked and couldn’t see but can you react to Rens song ‘it’s alright’ please there’s a vid with that one too. One of my faves
His first album ! was really great , you can tell a younger REN The talent shines through on this track , as do the others on this record , but the pain is clearly still a bit raw , but brilliant anyways
Thank you for reacting to this. Old guy here, who was always considered the archetypal strong male. Rens music uncovers deeply hidden emotions in me. Cry uncontrollably whenever I listen to this. Thank you
I’m glad you do cry. It’s natural. Big hugs. Thank you.
As a 50 year old metal head I have the same reaction to his songs. Ren has made me enjoy music again. ❤
Me too brother... I cry all the time listening to Ren and I'm not sorry or apologetic about it. Ren is what music has been music for a LONG time... REAL! We feel that in every word he speaks as we line it up to his autobiography of his life played on albums... Ren is TRUELY; One of a kind...
He has a gift for turning his pain into something utterly beautiful, while also making very sure you never forget that it's pain
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Gold stars for this . Yrs
@@redheadedneighbor can I recommend "it's alright" as your next Ren video, I really think you'll enjoy it :)
I have never heard any straight man express such profound love for another man. Ren is changing the world. Thank you for reacting to this song.
So beautiful, isn’t it?
❤@@redheadedneighbor
Everybody has a best friend, it has nothing to do with sexuality or gender. You're reading too much into it.

Nobody should. It’s so good to know that we aren’t so alone.
You're never truly alone buddy I promise. Stay strong bruv!
Sometimes angels go to Heaven and sometimes they fall to Earth when they still have work to do.. that is Ren.. the angel we never knew how much we needed in these turbulent times.. I’m so sorry for your loss.. ♥️😇♥️
Ren has written this and it has such an important part in our life
That was beautifully said ❤
Sorry for your loss. Ren obviously has a big heart that shines through in songs like this.
His heart is huge!
Great reaction. You probably don't want to know but there is an even MORE emotional version that REN did around 8 months after Joe left 🙏 live on stage 😢😢🔥✌️🙏
I don’t think I’m quite healed enough for that one just yet but I bet it is incredibly moving!
@@redheadedneighbor and beautiful at the same time 🔥🙏
I haven't made it through the live version yet without falling apart. It's absolutely heartbreaking, and maybe the most real thing on RUclips.

I thought the same. That was a win for them both.

Absolutely. Music and community is so healing and brings so much joy!
You and what you do MATTER as well.
To share your heart with the world helps others AND yourself.
I am HERE.
Mad love AND respect.
I appreciate that so very much. The amazing thing is, I 💯 believe you. Music.. bringing people together. Ren.. a huge part of that.
Thank you, again.

This is a song that connects freckled Grief stricken Hearts
In Unity we can all come to tearful unity
In unison we are united we are together we are one
There's something beautiful about the wsy he invites us to cry with him. ❤
Sending love and light.
Yes. And it’s good that we cry. We have a soul

Oh, I still smile much more than I tear up. Life is beautiful and should be savored.
Lost my mother, step mother and best friend all within 1 year in '17/'18. This song always hit me hard. But it makes me feel better somehow. Thank you for the lovely reaction. And as always, hugs to you. 🧡
Thank you so much!
There is a really good live performance of Freckeled Angels. ❤
One day I will watch that one!😄
I love your reactions, and I'm sorry that you're having a rough time. I can completely relate. To better times❤
